    Thanks!!

    Actually she's been riding horses since she was 8 so I think the centering and balance is a given, the biggest challenge to overcome was changing gear and coordination and building the self confidence.

    But she did really well.

    You know, it was like everything going full circle for me, when you think that I have photographed some of the top racers in the world and for me, my first shots of 2006 was the woman I love so dearly, and who has believed in me since day 1.

    PUT THE KLEENEX AWAY!!!

    get a motion blur shot
    Being married to "tomboys" is fun-here is my wife on her KTM. She broke her collarbone last year, but that didn't scare her off of bikes.

    I wouldn't class Emily as tomboy (she might suggest otherwise though!)

    My wife has never wanted kids (we thrashed that out when we met and I'm not worried either - it's too late now anyways), preferring pets over children, but you want to hear something funny, she sent me a picture of that bike your wife is riding yesterday with a big sign across it that said

    BUY ME!

    Ktm 250 Exc Rfs
    She broke her collarbone on my daughter's TTR 125 and then after she was healed up, decided she wanted her own bike. We found a KTM 250 RFS EXC that was lowered and has an overbore kit on it-it is actually a 350. It is pretty zippy and would've been fine as a 250, but the work was already done. I bet if you were to shop around, you could find one. She loves the electric start. If you haven't been to www.ktmtalk.com go check it out. She won't be getting a Ducati, but she has a pretty nice R1150R.

    What a nice picture! Lovely leathers.

    We're actually torn between the GS12 whatever is and the Multistrada right now, and then throw into the mix the new Monster...

    What to buy!

    The remake of the GS Adventure should be out this Spring. I sold mine last March and sure do miss it.
